choking ice dust heaven earth

trees barren childless
dead before time erased time

I fly wingless,
Childless, without love
Not knowing, 
Where to go
I miss your hands
Your touch,
That of a dove,
Soft as a cloud
Filled with a purity
Of a soul, that is gone
I miss you....

fatherless husband
loins aching for progeny 
empty wombs await seeding
childless mothers cry
opening soft pocket sighs
stoking the steel thorns rising

               it’s so pitiful to watch/the childless woman go there
                 with no baby as before/look at the darkening sky
         with tear-filled eyes again on/this starless night of the dead...

Born out of wedlock
she gave up her baby girl
for quick adoption.

Twice married since, old and frail,
she laments her childless life.

My life's great sorrow,
no namesake to carry on.
Pages of my book empty.
Shards of my glass heart,
pierced deep into childless grief.
Drown in my sea of regret.

A cat lady?

The woman next door
 is 82 waits for the
cleaner
 who is ten minutes late
When she was 28
she was a success
a problem occurred
she told a friend
It was done 
in afternoon 
days of rest
she could dance again
The childless die twice

You say you went childless,
  so where are your riches?

All wrapped up in numbers
  or locked in a vault

You say you went childless,
  but where is your fortune?

You’ve already been forgotten
  —your grave has been robbed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)...

The sundress caused duress and uncertainess
as she lay in the sand with a childless man. 
Their kiss filled with grit but she just couldn't quit,
Til she ran off with some guy named Pitt!

Your love has reached my height of  boredom.
A flower that wont bloom
A childless womb.
Hate floods my veins 
Love will never say your name.
Ask of this devil that resides
Ask for more then you can have.
My heart lived here?
My conscious was alive?
Why hide my being? that is all that stands.....

Amazing how
Love strikes like lightning
For some
Love is never known
Amazing how
A child is conceived
For some
A childless life
Amazing how
A snowflake forms
For some
Not a raindrop falls
Amazing how
People live
For some
A box is called home
Amazing how
For some
Riches are found
In our Lord above....

Tis upon a moonless night
In the mist of unseen light
A childless mother laid in despair
Dressed in white... Satin wear 
Torn and fondled was her hair...

She cried and cried
With no avail
Searched every night, 
cried in despair 

For her children, 
That she lost
And cannot find,
She still cries in great despair...

  God told Abraham his descendants would be
    as many as the stars of the sky…
                              …as the sands of the sea

  Single stars are countable
    as are grains of sand... 
       ...at least theoretically

  Abraham, yet childless, accepted G-d’s word
    ~ giving nary a thought to practicality

My ovaries ache
I feel the cold
A childless body
While I grow old

As I whither
They will too
So I lay back
And wait on you

Always waiting
As season pass
Change their shape
Reshape our love

Poke and prod
Feed and plump
Turn what’s flat
Into a bump

Seed and prune
Ready to pop
Apples on trees
Groaning to drop

Fruitful pain
Wrapped up inside
My womb, a tomb
For an unborn child...

heartless and you can forgive
blind eyes and you can see
deaf and you can hear
mute and you can speak
a bully and you fear
no legs and you can walk
no hands and you can feel
christian upbringing and you don't beleive
educated and you can't read
skilled and you don't work
bold and you are ashamed
a mother and you are childless
taught and you don't know
loved and you can't love
born and you....

walks of lie-fe...

she was giving birth, a surrogate mother, to a rich childless couple. she had been instructed to not look at the baby, did and relented, she had given birth
 a wonderful newborn how could she give it away?
sensible people told her it was for the best, the child would get a good education, she the mother could not give her.
Under pressure by the righteous, she gave the baby away
but she will forever regret her decision....

The Childless Mother

You once had a mother 
And how was she?
She was gentle, kind and caring,
As gracious as could be.

And you?
You played house,
You dressed your dolls,
You took them for walks in their prams
You gave them their bottles,
And you rocked them to sleep.

But now, you know,
You’ll never be a mother,
You experience anguish, hurt and pain,
Which our loving heavenly father
Takes away again and again and again....

Fair weather friend,
Thou art a beguiling trench
So deep your carvings burrow
That the gorge, like a ghost's cravenly respite,
Stares at my face every morn and night,
And I, a childless brazen woman,
Wander along the narrow path of servility
Of fear and pain,
And the nuances of passion
Has desiccated my body
To a state of apathy
That is forever succumbing 
To what is known as the murderer of happiness.

Remember the dark days; through the sun was bright.
Remember the hunger in your stomach, but a beat in your step.
Remember the aches and pain, but you endured another day.
Remember, the heartache being childless, yet you birthed eight children.
Remember, all you endured, yet, you are still here; in me.
Remember your sacrifices; yet, you remained humble.
Remember HIM because HE has not forgotten you, for I am here;
the very essence of you....

I am not blind
But my eyes are in pain
Their killing me, slowly but surely
With every second that comes to pass
PAIN!
For the days I've  witness,
Starving faces and Helpless souls
PAIN!
For the times I've seen
Broken faith and Drained will
PAIN!
For the mother-less childs and Childless mothers
You see,
My eyes weren't made to witness pain
Nor were they ready for it
But I'd rather see the worlds pain
Than be blinded by my problems

To bear children seems a great feat
For some giving birth's a tough beat
This choice brings to light
A new life that’s bright
And makes parents feel more complete

Parenting—a very tough sport!
The Surgeon General’s report
Notes financial stress
With tantrums and mess
Can adult wellbeing abort

Doing stuff uniquely your own
Means less of rough life though alone
Childless cat ladies
Don’t come from hades
But add TikTok fluff for your phone...

~ Was He a Rebel? ~


 Was he a rebel
    a son from hell
 He left his father's home
    for a destination unknown

 Took his childless bride
    and his nephew aside
 Said that his essence in order to know
    There was no choice, God told him to go

 To leave his home and his homeland
    To find out what kind of man
       he truly could be

 By now his name you may have guessed
    That's right - He was Abraham
       ~ This was his first of Ten Tests...

There was once a childless donkey
she desired a baby of her own womb
she sat and thought all day and all night

“I know I do not have eggs in my womb
why can’t I borrow eggs from chicken
If I swallow them I will become pregnant.” 

Chicken took her wishes with passion
several eggs donkey was given in a basket
each time she tried, she crashed and ate

Donkey waited long and long and long
the signs of pregnancy did not appear
she tried turkeys, ducks, birds of the air...

Bachelor Day 
It was father’s day he got up early and 
drink coffee near the phone just in case
his daughter rang.

Then it was afternoon and he must have
fallen asleep and he fretted if the phone
had rung and he hadn’t heard it. 

He went into the kitchen but left the living
room door open, he had a ham sandwich 
which he ate by the phone.

It was now evening and she was not ringing
how could she a product of his wishes, 
childless man, she was a figment of your dreams....
